I'm having problems with making my collision map. I'm trying to use the same idea I used to make the tile and sprite map when making my collision map. Each tile is 64x64, and there are 20 across and 20 down, but I'm trying to make a 32x32 cube cutout from a solid black tile as my collision box (that of which the character cannot walk onto) and everything works fine up until the point of execution. Once you get into the game the character can't walk any farther left or up from where he starts (280x240 is his starting point) and then he can walk down a little ways (610 pixels I believe) and he stops at the point..as if my collision map is only making it a 610x610 area where he can walk, then the collision wall. On my large map the 9s are the transparent tile that can be walked on..they are 64x64, and the 10s are the collision tile (32x32). Can anyone else help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? I've been working on this for a while now and havent' been able to fix it. The hyperlinks go to my bitmap files if anyone wants to use the code and pictures to see for themselves the problem.

is that your exact code? if it is, how do your maps even load? dont they need tags? ie..

map01:
data 99999
data 99999

and the collision map has extra entrys(i think) which could be cuasing the collision problem.

btw, using yellow and black stripes for a background is a BAD idea, i just about had a siezure!

well I think you're misunderstanding my REAL problem..that's the collision problem I was having..read the top post for any details about it..the other problem I had was with the transparency on my 3rd layer (collision) but that's not a big deal really..I'm just worried about the collision

Umm. Make negatives of a number? Doesn't - suffice?

numbernegative = -number

unless its already a negative number, then itll become a positive and just placing a negative in front of a variable doesnt work in db.

negativenumber=abs(number)*-1

that should work.

question is..will that fix my problem that I'm having with the collision box being too small, to where it's only allowing me to move 610 pixels to the right and down instead of it reading the 10s as the area to not be able to walk over, and the other numbers able to be walked over
